    Today was election day and 10 patriots showed up to show their respect for this WW II veteran who helped ensure we could continue to be free. Thank U Mr. Walker for being there when our nation called. Glen's son & many others took the time to thank everyone of us. It was truly our honor.
    Other than a mishap between 2 of the cycles while parking, the day was again special.
